Was gonna go to greys bay for some panfish action but sounds like everythings on the small side. Taking my girlfriend out and would like to get on some sunnies and then crappies towards dark. We're lookin to take home a small meal most likely. Any info on other bays to find decent pannies?

Sorry it took so long to answer. Try either Black Lake or Seton it is my home turf. You will see all the holes that people have drilled. On Seton for sunnies just try around the north end you will see all the permanments parked there. I have been using a ant bait with a waxworm no wheight and a pencil shy bit. they have stacked in the whiole water column. I am going out tonight after work. It is Friday look for a red Chevy and a little flip over thats me. I will be on Seton from about 2 PM and on. If anyone else is interested come out and join me grin.gif

If you go when you enter the lake look to the west you will see bunch of permanent houses there is a deep hole there I would try that area for crappies. One of my spots was to the left of that area you will see a channel that runs around the back of the floating bog. I usually drill holes in fron of that channel in about 13 fish for sunnies. really I would drive thru to Seton and try the sunnie fishing there. When it gets near dark maybe move back to Black. I will be out there Sunday we have to move our houses off thwe lake. So I should be there most of the day. If not on Black I might be over at Seton. I drive a red Silverado we will also have a four wheeler out pulling off the houses. i hope to see you out there.

Ill probably start on seton and then move out to black. Brought my girlfriend with me recently to chisago and she had a great time. Got her on some fat gills and some 9-11in crappies after dark. I think she caught the most out of 5 of us and caught the biggest crappie at 12inches

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
